What are the weight limits on the COMPLETE, the CarryOn and the ESSENTIALS baby carriers?The COMPLETE does not require an infant insert and is recommended for children 7lbs-45lbs.

The ESSENTIALS can be used from 7 lbs with the required use of the Infant Insert . The Essentials is approved for use without the insert from 15-45 lbs.

What are the differences between the COMPLETE, the CarryOn and the ESSENTIALS?Please see our Compare Chart for a side by side look at the differences in these carriers.

What are the number of carrying positions I can use on the COMPLETE, the CarryOn and the ESSENTIALS?The COMPLETE has 6 carry positions: fetal, infant, toddler, hip and back.The CarryOn has 3 carry positions: toddler, hip and back.The ESSENTIALS has 4 carry positions: infant (with insert), toddler, hip and back.

I’m having trouble figuring out how to use my COMPLETE carrier, help!Check our instructional video page which shows how to use the COMPLETE in all positions and settings; http://lillebaby.com/instructional_videos.

What is the difference between the COMPLETE All Seasons and the COMPLETE Airflow?The major difference between the COMPLETE Airflow and the COMPLETE All Seasons is that the Airflow is all mesh, and the All Seasons features a cotton covering, and a zip away panel that reveals the mesh under so you can control temperatures.

Do I need an infant insert with my COMPLETE carrier?The LILLEbaby COMPLETE carriers do not require an infant insert. Beginning at 7 lbs you may wear baby in the carrier in either the fetal position with legs inside in the froggy position or legs out in the narrow seat setting. You may use the infant straps for added safety if you wish. We also recommend watching the instructional videos here: http://lillebaby.com/instructional_videos

What is the "scrunch" method? My baby is in between the "wide" and the "narrow" seat, what do I do?You can achieve a wider support in the narrow seat setting by trying one or more of the following techniques:

1. Position baby further away from belt: Ensure baby has a “deep seat” by positioning baby toward the wider part of the carrier panel rather than close to or on the waistband itself. Achieving this is easiest if your waistband is flat and snug to your waist or hip. Try moving the waist belt higher or lower, maintaining a flat, snug, and level fit, until you find a position that is both comfortable for the wearer and positions baby on the widest part of the seat.

2. Widen seat by loosening seat flaps:

-Leave flaps unbuckled, but folded in underneath baby’s bottom. Pull on each side of the seat to extend the fabric over baby’s thighs to achieve a widened seat.-Alternatively, leave the flaps hanging loose. This results in a slightly wider seat compared to the flaps folded in and buttoned-Once baby is in the carrier, reach inside and adjust where baby is sitting by lifting and moving baby’s bottom further away from your belt.-Always make sure to tighten straps to ensure baby is sitting snug to your body. However, never over tighten – always allow for the natural c-curve of babies spine.-Note: “Scrunching” the seat flaps on the waist belt to slightly narrow the wide seat setting is not recommended because it can warp the carrier’s waist belt.

What is the difference between the COMPLETE and the CarryOn?The CarryOn is designed for larger children, as it goes from 20 up to 60 pounds. It has a roomier panel, and more adjustability in the straps to get a good comfortable fit. Children can be worn on the hip, the back or facing in, in 3 positions.

The Complete has a fold down neck support so smaller babies can look out and be worn facing forward. Children can be worn facing in, and out, on the hip an on the back in a variety of ways because the width of the seat adjusts.The Complete weight range is from 7 pounds at birth to 45 pounds with no need for an infant insert, you cannot use the CarryOn with children under 20 pounds.

Which is more breathable, the COMPLETE Airflow or the COMPLETE Embossed?The Embossed LILLEbaby carrier is made with a soft, light and highly breathable microfiber fabric often used in sports gear. There is no padding between the layers in the body of the carrier which make it super lightweight and it allows more airflow than most padded cotton carriers, but not more breathable than our Airflow carrier.

Can I use the LILLEbaby COMPLETE waist extender on the ESSENTIALS?Not at this time.

How does the ESSENTIALS compare to the COMPLETE?The COMPLETE is a 6-position carrier with a number of unique features. The ESSENTIALS was designed to offer the best solution in the more simplified, traditional soft structured carrier category. It features 4 carrying positions (with the optional infant insert launching in Spring 2016) and includes different features than the COMPLETE

What is the infant safety harness for?The interior harness strap in the COMPLETE carriers adds the necessary security to allow parents to use a rolled-up blanket of their choice in their carrier without it creating a fall hazard. The harness is not common in SSC in the US, but safety certifications in other countries, like Japan, have started requiring harness straps to reduce the risk of error when using an infant insert or positioning the baby in the carrier. We are proud to be among the first to offer this helpful safety feature.

Do you use a flame retardant on your carriers?It's Important to LILLEbaby that we make the safest products for children that we can. We test extensively for both voluntary and mandatory standards. Our products contain no lead, toxic dyes, phthalates, flame retardants and are CPSIA compliant and ASTM safety certified. The padding on our shoulder pads is comprised of a non-toxic PE, a material frequently used in baby mattresses. The waist belt is also made of non-toxic PEVA material. Many baby products (bibs etc.) are now using PEVA as it is considered “greener” and safer than PVC etc.

Comfy for momma, not babyI just received my lillebaby complete airflow today and I have got to say I have mixed reviews. Putting it on was fairly easy, besides tightening the straps was a little tough. Once I was comfortable with baby in the carrier I was pleased as he almost felt weightless and he didn’t seem to mind being in it. After about 10 minutes in the carrier (baby on the front, facing me) I noticed the back of his head/neck was getting very red and irritated from the mesh material rubbing against him. Any recommendations lillebaby? I am going to continue to try the carrier, possibly with a hooded jacket now that it is winter, but in the summer that is not realistic.

Great to use if you are plus sizeAfter many weeks of researching carriers I was having a hard time finding one that would fit me. Many other popular baby carrier brands do not offer options for plus size moms and dads. When I finally came across Lillebaby I was excited to see that they offered an extension for the waist part of their carriers. It was exactly what I needed since I wear between a 2X and 3X in clothing. I ordered the carrier and when I tried it on it fit perfectly. I have used it several times since I have purchased it and have enjoyed the new way of carrying my baby.

I usually don't do reviews but...I usually don't take the time to write a review for a product, but this carrier is worth my time. I don't even know where to begin with this. I guess I should start by saying it is the most comfortable carrier I've ever had the privilege of carrying my 30lb toddler in. The shoulder straps are thick and padded, the lumbar strap is a back saver, and the mesh fabric keeps my usually sweaty toddler cool and calm the whole time. The first day we tried it out at the grocery store, we got so many compliments, but a lot of questions too. I recommended this brand and style to 4 different mothers and grandmothers that day

Great for Mom (or Dad) AND Baby!This carrier is the BEST! I inherited 4 different carriers from my older sister when I had my daughter. They were all great, or at least I thought they were, until I ordered my Lillebaby Airflow. I was always getting too hot with other carriers and with the Lillebaby we are staying cool even in the hottest June days in California! I love that I can easily switch from inward/outward facing and I can't wait til she's a little bigger and I can try the back carry too. This carrier is a must have...even if you already have a closet full of carriers, don't hesitate to order this one too - you won't regret it!

Life changingLife changing may sound like an exaggeration, but this carrier truly is. My daughter is 2 and due to developmental delays is unable to walk. While the world is meant to be accessible for strollers and wheelchairs, it isn't always. With our Lillebaby carrier, I can take my daughter anywhere that I can walk myself. It has been instrumental in getting our family back out in nature and enjoying life "where the sidewalks end."
Even though our joy in our Lillebaby may due to circumstances beyond what is typical, any parent or caregiver will find this useful. It is hands free baby care while still holding your little one close to your heart.

Nice little gem!I bought this carrier a little while ago and I'm glad I did. I love the muted colors, it is very comfy. I am a very petite lady (5' 1½") and I can still wear it comfortably (I do have to remove the lumbar support because I'm pretty thin too (about 100 lbs). Even so, it still is very comfy. The mesh is nice & breathable. It's hot & humid where I live, so I still sweat while wearing it, but I can imagine how much more heat there would be if not for the mesh! This is easy to put on & take off, especially once you've done it a few times. Now that I'm comfortable with it & know how I like it, I can get my baby in it in just a couple of minutes.

Best carrier ever!!I bought a second hand Lillebaby Airflow when my daughter was 7 or 8 months old. I had used a ring sling and a mei tai previously, but they were either not supportive enough or too hot (we live in Florida!). The Airflow was seriously the best thing that happened to us! Supportive, comfy, and cool, it was seriously perfect!
Fast forward to a couple of months ago, and my well-loved Lillebaby is nowhere to be found. I RUSHED to buy a new one because we can definitely not live without our Lille. I LOVE the charcoal colorway, and the pocket is awesome (the older model didn't have one). Otherwise, it's equally as fantastic as the old one.

Fun PatternsI bought the donut and sprinkles about a month ago. I had previously purchased the mist airflow and didn't realize that they came in fun colors and patterns. Since both my husband and I both like to wear our little one, we decided to purchase a second one so we didn't have to constantly readjust the fit.
Overall, I really like the coolness of the airflow. We live in Sourthern Arizona so summers are a bit hot to say the least. We're able to wear and not wind up with everyone drenched in sweat like we had with another brand of carrier. The lumbar support is really comfy and allows us to wear for extended periods of time without any aches or pains.
